Love & Want
These necklaces are great...I like how they suit every mood you have... sometimes all in one day right?
They are made by Ninaribena who lives in Canberra, Australia, and are available from her Etsy store.

Kokoda
I know that this is a bit strange, but rather than thinking about the actual walking of Kokoda, I'm a bit more worried about what to wear....! I know you aren't supposed to care about that, but seriously, I'm not in the army, I don't want to wear khaki for 10 days straight!! What a dilema :(
Only 20 days until we fly out to port Moresby!! I can't wait, but I am a bit scared... still so unfit... arrr

Picture Frames
I went antiquing/op-shopping with my lovely friend Ebz on saturday, and we ended up in the back streets of Islington (amazingly she knew where to go haha- kidding ebz) in these awesome second hand furniture shops.
Anyway, my lover and I are pimping out "our" apartment and I decided to get a whole heap of frames, because I think when bunched together, mismatched but in the same colour they would look awesome.... Ebz and I found so many beautiful frames, that happened to be framing some rather unfortunate pictures/craft that will be binned as soon as I get around to it! Ebz got to buy the most beautiful golden frame because she's a proper artist, unlike me who clicks my camera and hopes for the best!!!
(Check out her website http://www.birdwoodillustrations.com.au/
My favourite painting isn't on her site, but it is beautiful in its utter moroseness, and reminded me of Mordor...and then I found out it was based on the actual NZ mountain they filmed it at, so how good am I!? )
Anyway we had the yummiest breakfast at this place, Coliseum Antiques, http://www.coliseumantiques.com.au/Home.aspx and generally had a really really fun morning.... the shop we had breakfast in (best poached eggs mmm) had this antique carved table for $12,900.00 sooooooo beautiful but so freaking expensive!!!

Photos borrowed indefinately (ok its larceny I admit it) from various house-lovely blogs, which are listed on the side. I mean, if you're going to put something on the net, expect it to get borrwed right? The last one is from Design * Sponge
